This book presents state-of-the-art developments of orthopedic biomechanics across tissues in the musculoskeletal system at all size scales and with direct relevance to engineering and clinical applications. Discussing the relationship between mechanical loading, function, and biological performance, it first reviews basic structure-function relationships for most major orthopedic tissue types followed by the most-relevant structures of the body. It then addresses multiscale modeling and biologic considerations. It concludes with a look at applications of biomechanics, focusing on recent advances in theory, technology and applied engineering approaches--Provided by publisher.

This book covers many aspects of Injury and Skeletal Biomechanics. As the title represents, the aspects of force, motion, kinetics, kinematics, deformation, stress and strain are examined in a range of topics such as human muscles and skeleton, gait, injury and risk assessment under given situations. Topics range from image processing to articular cartilage biomechanical behavior, gait behavior under different scenarios, and training, to musculoskeletal and injury biomechanics modeling and risk assessment to motion preservation. This book, together with "Human Musculoskeletal Biomechanics", is available for free download to students and instructors who may find it suitable to develop new graduate level courses and undergraduate teaching in biomechanics.

Avant de s’intéresser à une locomotion défectueuse, il faut d’abord en connaître la normalité, et c’est le premier objectif de cet ouvrage : montrer comment évolue un cheval conformément à son inné locomoteur, quelle est la progression à respecter, progression que l’on retrouvera tant dans son éducation que dans une rééducation éventuelle. Par souci didactique, les correspondances entre l’équitation dans le respect des allures naturelles du cheval et la biomécanique sont proposées par régions mécaniques, puis au cours des allures ainsi qu’à l’occasion d’exercices fondamentaux entrant dans le protocole général d’éducation et de rééducation. Le lien entre allures défectueuses (problèmes rencontrés dans le travail) et restrictions de mobilité d’ordre ostéopathique est largement détaillé, et les propositions d’exercices de rééducation concernent au final toutes sortes de restrictions : suite d’immobilisations (traumas, chirurgie), blocages ostéopathiques, mais aussi raideur innée (conformation difficile) ou acquise par un travail inadapté, par des aplombs défectueux, etc. Le but de cet ouvrage est de proposer au lecteur cavalier un cheminement dans l’éducation de son cheval, quel qu’en soit l’usage, mais en respectant son inné locomoteur. Il y trouvera aussi un choix d’exercices à réaliser isolément pour répondre à des difficultés passagères ou à l’occasion d’un besoin de rééducation. Ce livre est le fruit de la confrontation de l’expérience de deux docteurs vétérinaires et cavaliers ; en illustrant leur propos de nombreux cas complets et richement illustrées pas à pas, les docteurs Sautel et Pradier offrent aux lecteurs une approche nouvelle, douce et fondamentalement pratique de l’éducation et de la rééducation des chevaux.

Biologically inspired robotics is an interdisciplinary subject between robotics and biology that involves how to apply biological ideas and phenomena to engineering problems in robotics (biomimetics), and how to apply robotics technology to understanding of biological systems and their behaviors (bio-robotic modeling/analysis). The efforts in biologically inspired robotics are not just restricted to research work in laboratories, their novel applications are also being extensively explored in services, education, rehabilitation, medical care and other sectors. The objective of this book is to introduce the latest efforts in research of biologically inspired robotics, covering both biomimetics (with chapters in biologically inspired robot design and control, bio-sensing, bio-actuation, and micro/nano bio-robotic systems) and bio-robotic modeling/analysis (discussing human hand motion recognition using biological signals, modeling of human brain activities, characterization of cell properties using robotic systems). In order to provide readers a better understanding on organization of this book, the content is classified into four parts: (1) biologically inspired robot design and control, (2) micro/nano bio-robotic systems, (3) biological measurement and actuation, and (4) applications of robotics technology to biological problems--
